France delays Mideast peace conference for U.S. - CNNPolitics.com
CNN reports: "France has postponed an international conference on Israeli-Palestinian
peace in order to ensure U.S. officials are able to attend -- but
American political currents may stymie their efforts to fully engage the
Obama administration even with its participation."
Comment: The Islamic State threat is the central issue motivating the Arab states
right now, not the Mideast peace process, so France may find it
difficult to put this high on the international agenda without U.S.
support. Still, as I argued last year, the Iran arms deal provides a framework
for the a Mideast peace deal that could be the prophetic "Covenant with
Many" of Daniel 9:27. Once this idea was endorsed by a major power I
don't think it will ever really go away, even if this latest effort
fizzles, it will remain something that could be adopted (or 'confirmed')
if and when the timing is right.
